  My favourite in any Japanese restaurant is always Oyako-don (followed closely by salmon sushi with lots of wasabi, yum). I’ve been searching for a simple Oyako-don recipe for some time, and I think I finally found one here. For some reason, I love dishes combining egg and meat…

  Shopping list (for 2):

  • 1 cup dry (3 cups cooked) rice
  • 150g or so chicken thigh meat
  • 1 brown onion
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoons mirin (sweet sake)
  • 1 sachet dashi (soup broth) mixed in 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  Cooking:

  • Slice chicken and onion into small pieces.
  • Put rice on to boil. My Singaporean friends taught me to put the rice in the saucepan; flatten it; then fill with water from the tip of your index finger touching the rice to your first finger joint.
  • At the same time, boil the chicken and onion in the soy sauce, mirin, dashi, water and sugar.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, swirl in the eggs without scrambling them too much. Cook eggs, but once they start bubbling strongly, put on the lid and steam them about 5 minutes or until cooked.
  • Serve rice and place chicken/egg mixture on top without breaking it up too much. Miso soup and a fresh green salad to complete the meal.

  Actually, I was rather impressed. Tasted pretty authentic to me, although I’m not Japanese. ;D Enjoy!

• This is what I miss about Japan: things that just fit back into their boxes, with no trouble, clear instructions which way up... *sigh* 07:55:05 am 04 February 2012 from TweetDeck
